Fantastic food tonight. Lovely atmosphere in the conservatory area. Very friendly staff who are happy to have a conversation. Especially Josie! And shout out to Rachel too! Food was great and it is dog friendly. Only negative - I love my Opd Fashioned cocktails and it was average at best. *I didn't stay in the hotel so the review is purely based on the restaurant experience.

We recently celebrated our daughter Zoe’s wedding to Joe at The Plough Inn, Eaton, Cheshire, and we cannot praise the venue and team highly enough. From the moment we arrived until the end of the evening, everything was organised to perfection. The food was absolutely excellent, beautifully presented and enjoyed by all of our guests. We received so many compliments about the quality of the meal and the attention to detail. The service throughout the day was outstanding. The staff were professional, friendly, and attentive, ensuring that everyone felt welcome and well looked after. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to make sure the day ran smoothly and stress-free for both the wedding party and our guests. A special thank you to the entire team for helping to make Zoe and Joe’s wedding day so memorable. Their hard work, dedication, and exceptional hospitality played a huge part in creating a truly wonderful celebration. We would highly recommend The Plough Inn to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding venue with fantastic food, exceptional service, and a team that genuinely cares about making your special day perfect.

We had our wedding at The Plough Inn on May Bank Holiday weekend and we absolutely LOVED our day. Ourselves and our guests enjoyed every minute and from the moment of arrival we just knew we had made the right choice. A huge thank you to all staff - the wedding planning team are experts at what they do, from answering your questions, responding to emails and organising planning meetings in the run up to your day; all the way to the day itself which they run perfectly - leaving you able to enjoy a stress-free relaxed day where you can trust the team and live in the moment. We wanted to be the chilled out go-with-the-flow couple on our wedding day and they made this possible. Forever grateful for that. The kitchen staff create the most beautiful food. From canapés to perfectly cooked beef and the BEST sticky toffee pudding! Even in a heat wave!! The venue itself is stunningly beautiful and their recommended suppliers can be trusted to personalise it to your style. This being said, it’s not a venue that requires loads of expensive decor. It’s so lovely already that simple touches are enough. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Plough as a wedding venue or venue for any special occasion. Our guests loved our day as much as we did and many remarked that the staff were brilliantly attentive and lovely. Many of them are planning to return for a meal because they enjoyed the food and the atmosphere so much. If you are looking for your venue - it’s here!!

We have just had our wedding at the Plough and cant rate it high enough. Nothing was any trouble, they looked after us so we'll...in the run up and on the day. The wedding planners were excellent, walked us through the process as answered questions quickly. We were very impressed. The catering was of a high standard, the Barn an excellent venue and so accommodating. The rooms were clean and comfortable..the beds especially so. The Loft is a brilliant addition and fully furnished for the best wedding prep area. Everyone commented on the venue and we would definitely choose this again...perfect Thanks so much Jo and Team x
